Re: Need help with brake problem 850 95

poor OEM design, excessive heat from pads, inadequate rotor size for a car this bulk (and speed), more likely a combinationm of all these factors.

do a search, it's a common problem with our 8502/70 series. 280mm just isnt enuff to properly stop a turbo volvo, so the driver simply presses the pedal harder, that generates more heat and ultimately leads to faster wear.

thats why volvo fitted 302mm but only for the 70series turbos. can't fathom the rational why they maintained 280mm for the rest tho'...
